They told me that my house smells like a dog. And I asked them, “Do you know what a dog smells like?”
A dog smells like gratitude, loyalty, nobility, honey, pure and unconditional love, and despite all they have suffered, they don't smell a grudge so I feel so blessed that my house smells like dog. ❤️🐾🐾

Just a dog.
From time to time people tell me “chill out, it’s just a dog” or “it’s a lot of money just for a dog.” They don't understand the distance traveled, the time invested, or the costs incurred by "just a dog".
Some of my proudest moments have occurred with “just a dog.”
Many hours have passed being my only company "just a dog", but not for one moment did I feel despised. Some of my saddest moments have been because of “just a dog,” and on those gray days, the gentle touch of “just a Dog” gave me comfort and the reason to get through the day.
If you also think “it’s just a dog”, then you’ll probably understand phrases like “just a friend”, “just a sunrise” or “just a promise.” “Just a dog” brings into my life the very essence of friendship, trust and pure unbridled joy. “Just a dog” brings out the compassion and patience that make me a better person.
For "just a dog" I will get up early, take long walks and look forward to the future. So for me and people like me, it’s not “just a dog,” but an embodiment of all the hopes and dreams of the future, the memories of the past, and the absolute joy of the moment. “Just a dog” brings out the good in me and takes my thoughts away from myself and daily worries.
I hope one day they can understand that it’s not “just a dog”, but the one that gives me humanity and keeps me from being “just a human.” So the next time you hear the phrase “just a dog”, just smile because they “just don’t get it”.

“I’m very happy for him. He has had an impressive career & I’ve been able to enjoy it because I’m passionate about tennis & a fan of Rafael. I’m very grateful for experiencing what we have experienced. We’ve enjoyed it a lot. I’m delighted to be his uncle..”

I just got to Miami and they have Puerto Rican rice and beans in the airport lounge. I wanted to get a spoon and just go up to the bar and eat the whole thing myself. I took 2 small plates to go. 🤫 It is my weakness. I would trade turkey and gravy for Puerto Rican rice and beans on Thanksgiving. Lol.
sums up their careers.
Djokovic = Luckiest player of all time
Nadal = Unluckiest player of all time
Despite this, Nadal is still only two slams behind.
"I'm well, training & happy. Until now I didn’t know if I would play tennis again someday & now I genuinely believe I will. I'm still not ready to say when, but I’m able to train increasingly longer & the progress is good.”

A couple of weeks ago Mike & I were riding our bikes on the boardwalk & came across this sweet soul walking his beloved golden.
She’s 14 & not so good with her legs so he pulls her around on this bed he made so she can enjoy the smells of the ocean. I had to stop & express my love for his extraordinary care ... compassion, kindness, love. I need more people like this in my life.
